Wellness Complete Health Chicken & Deboned Chicken Grain-Free Senior Dry Cat Food, 5.5-lb bag

Like most other reviews, at first my cats hated this food and refused to eat it. I mixed it in with their old cheap kibble and they would eat around the wellness bits. I was furious, after how much this bag cost I had really hoped my cats would gobble it up! The thing is, you can't give up. It took my cats close to 4 weeks to fully adjust to Wellness brand foods, but now that they have they all LOVE it and go wild when they here me opening the bag. Here is what I did to adjust my cats: Week 1: 1/4 Wellness, 3/4 Old Kibble - I ended up throwing out a lot of the wellness because they were eating around it and it was going stale (they hate stale food) Week 2 - 1/2 wellness, 1/2 old kibble - Like most other reviews, at first my cats hated this food and refused to eat it.

Preferred old kibble. Week 3 - 3/4 Wellness, 1/4 old kibble - Cats were MAD. SO MAD that I took away their beloved kibble. Lots of late night meows. We were all upset. Week 4 - ONLY Wellness. - Complained for first 2 days. Half way through the week they were all fine and finishing their bowls! … more

My senior cat has been eating this dry food for a very long time. And she has lived a very long time without having any health problems. No diabetes either. I got her in 2004 from a shelter when she was 8 mos old. She is now about 17 years old. I can’t say with absolute certainty that she had done so well because of the food. But it’s sure a good sign. In the last 2 year’s I have begun to “add” wellness wet food to her dry food diet. I give her a small portion of wet food in the morning with 2 drops of old friend supplement on top. The wet food and supplement was added to her diet just to make sure she was getting plenty of moisture and vitamins in her food at an older age to avoid getting kidney My senior cat has been eating this dry food for a very long time.

So far, so good. … more

I have older cats and was looking for good nutrition to keep them top top. The ingredients look very good for older cats. Trouble is that my cats won’t touch it. Cats go for things that smell good. This stuff smells really bad. I even tried leaving it as the only choice for food for a couple days. They would not even try it. I can’t recommend it.

My cats may be too picky but, all three of them put their nose up and would not eat it. The smell of the food was not that great either. Guess I can't blame them....

All 6 of my cats hated this and absolutely refused to eat it. I mixed it with stuff they like and they picked out the good stuff and left all of this. After 2 weeks, I am giving up and donating the rest of the bag to a group who feeds ferals. Hopefully they will eat it. Oddly enough, my cats do like the grain free wet food.

I wanted to give my aging felines a healthier cat food which this appeared to be. The only good thing about ordering from Chewy was that shipping was fast (2 days), that’s the 1 star. I gave both cats a piece of kibble they turned up their noses at it and left. So I sprinkled a few pieces of kibble in their food - they stopped eating. 2nd day still not eating, 3rd day I threw out food gave them their old food and they started eating again. There was no bad smell to this food, wasn’t rancid. Can’t return because it has been opened per Chewy return policy- great thanks Chewy. So I’m out $30 with shipping. I plan on donating to our local shelter who will take it. No more online ordering for me I I wanted to give my aging felines a healthier cat food which this appeared to be.

I got this because my cats are getting older, and one has problems with digestion. However, they both refused to eat it.

My cat was a stray so the vet can only guess her age. She only has about half of her teeth. For some reason she prefers dry food over any type of canned food. After trying a variety of brands, Wellness senior seems to be her favorite. Her coat looks great and she is maintaining her weight without packing on extra pounds.

My vet recommended a senior cat food for my cat. Not many to choose from, and the others had cellulose. Cellulose is, in my opinion, not good for consumption. My cat loves the Wellness cat food.

Cleo was not a fan of the new food. I'm having to mix it with her old food to get her to eat. This may take a while. we will see.
